Abstract:

Epigenetics is a branch of genetics that refers to the changes in gene or protein expression that do not involve changes in DNA sequence and can be stably transmitted during development and cell proliferation. Epigenetics is closely related to human skin aging, which is manifested as the change of human skin epigenetic modification. Through the research and utilization of the reversible characteristics of epigenetic modification, the research of epigenetics can be applied to the field of skin anti-aging and anti-aging related cosmetics. This paper summarizes the main contents of epigenetics in the research and application of skin anti-aging and cosmetics. Through the epigenetic modification manifestations and reversal modes of DNA methylation, including histone modification and microRNA regulation in extracellular matrix regulation, cell proliferation and differentiation regulation, melanin synthesis or metabolism regulation, and antioxidant stress capacity regulation, the various mechanisms of epigenetics in skin anti-aging are shown. It also explains the cause and characterization of skin aging through the changes of epigenetic modification during human aging, providing scientific basis for the research and development of anti-aging cosmetics. This paper reviews the relationship and manifestations of multiple mechanisms of action related to epigenetics and skin anti-aging, providing a theoretical basis for skin aging research and looking forward to the development of anti-aging related cosmetics in the future.

Key words: epigenetics, skin anti-aging, cosmetic, extracellular matrix, cell proliferation and differentiation, melanin, antioxidant
